Our new barnwood pergola is also going to double as a support for our never used porch swing.

The swing is currently hanging upside down under our deck.
There is a picnic table in what would be the swings location.

I paint barnwood signs - another barnwood decor item, in the shade at the table. So the picnic table has to stay.

Hopefully the new pergola will provide us with a place to enjoy the view of our gardens as we relax and swing under the wisteria covered pergola.

This photo shows the new pergola under construction. Full details will be disclosed on the Build a Pergola page that is linked to this page above.
We have plans to build a garden shed at the back of our property. The new shed will be built out of the reclaimed barnwood that we have collected.

The garden shed project will also be included on this page when more details develop.

Earlier I mentioned that I paint barnwood signs.

Another part if my business is sales. The business name is Rented Mule. The barnwood signs that I paint are called Scrappy Signs. I use barnwood to make some very cool signs.

The signs are weatherproofed on the painted side if they are intended for outdoor use.

I hand paint the barnwood signs. I also make custom hand painted signs from barnwood.

I have enough experience regarding home improvements, decorating and landscaping - through my real life experiences over the years, to consider myself knowledgeable enough to inspire others to improve their homes too.

I get compliments on my home and landscaping. That helps build confidence.

I also have confidence in my abilities. I KNOW that I can do it. I bet you do too. After all you are probably a DIYer like me, if you are looking at this site!

My work history is also in home related sales, so the background is set.
